I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Roland was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand.

Teacher Catherine took a deep breath and told herself not to bother with this madman.

Afterwards, she explained some things and ran to the back mountain to secretly conduct experiments.

If the laws are chaotic, how can we verify them?
If a group of people already live in a chaotic world and regard all strange and irrational things as common sense, how can they discover that what they think is reasonable common sense is actually irrational?
These things involve many things from the lower world. If Catherine studies them in depth, she might go crazy.

After Catherine left, Roland sat alone in a chair, reading a book, and began to try to meditate according to the memories of his 'previous life'.

The Book of Alayeh connects to the world below, and records many past events that should not have existed—including the sixteen years that Roland lived in Valeria.

What is very unreasonable is that these 'non-existent pasts' are the memories of Roland in the future.

So, this is a memory that has no source at all!
Normal memory is a line with a beginning and an end, a source, and actual events that happened.

But Roland's memory was different. It was a Möbius strip! It had no source; the source was himself!
After reading for a while, Roland felt that his memories were gradually merging with those of his previous life - in fact, he recalled his future memories from the lower world through reading the book!
He thought these memories were from the real past, but in fact they were Roland's memories decades later.

He thought these were all memories of his previous life. Which was not wrong, because his previous life was his future self.

After reading for a while, Roland raised his head dully.

"One day you wake up in a familiar bed and see a familiar house, but you don't feel like this is your home."

"This isn't even modern, it's ancient."

“But you are very, very familiar with this place.”

"You repeatedly recall what happened yesterday, but find that you have two different memories."

"In both of these memories, you are dead."

"Are you sure you must have traveled through time? Because your memories have merged with this body, you are very familiar with this place."

"But why does this body's name have the same pronunciation as yours?!"

"Even their appearance is almost identical."

"His name is Roland, and yours is Roland too. But he just turned sixteen this year."

"Did I travel to a parallel world and enter my body, or was everything I once was just a dream?"

“Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly. Who knows whether he is a butterfly or not?”

Suddenly, Roland felt something staring at him. He suddenly looked up at the sky.

——The perspective zoomed out, and Roland in the distance seemed to have entered the event horizon of a black hole, quietly stagnating in front of the "painting".

The moment Roland saw himself, he was horrified.

At the moment their eyes met, many thoughts flashed through Roland's mind.

He muttered, “Fuck, so I went back to the past?!

Now I’m awesome!

Although I am only at the level of an apprentice now, I bring with me all the knowledge and rich combat experience!

I know a lot of magic, secret techniques, and top-level formulas. I know how to contain all kinds of mysteries and how to defeat all kinds of bosses!

Even if I forget something, I can turn on an answering machine and find the answer!

Anna will come over tonight, but I know her too well, she is no match for me this time!
My teacher Catherine forced me to be promoted to a low-level apprentice today. Haha, I could have hung her and Anna up and beaten them before entering the yellow-brown fern forest!
Oh, and there are many potions and secret treasures in the Fern Forest. Williams's alchemy notebooks record many of these things. My teachers have truly explored the Fern Forest.

However, all their work was in vain after the suffering.

I can go treasure hunting for them.

And there is the Holy Tree of Flesh and Blood. That is an ancient elven tree watered with divine blood!
I have always wondered if this thing could also be used to make holy fruits. This time I can give it a try. This thing can definitely do more than just make holy fruits!

Last time, I made a femme fatale out of Catherine's bag, this time I made a magic potion!

Before the duel with Leonard, I can be promoted to a formal wizard and a first-level greatsword master!

Haha, what a bullshit incarnation of the evil god, how many moves of the evil thunder halberd can he withstand?
Well, to be on the safe side, I'd better get some help. I could get the ballet troupe over here!
Judging from the characteristics of ballet ghosts, I can definitely attract them over and then capture them. Then I can bring the entire ballet troupe to play with Leonard!
By the way, my good father-in-law has completed the loop, so this Leonard is actually my father-in-law, but he doesn’t know it, so he is going crazy!
Hahaha, it will be fun to make my father-in-law into a specimen and then go to visit my good father-in-law.

Also, there's a solution to the suffering! I heard those old guys discussing it before. After we deal with Leonard, we can use the answering machine to calculate, and then we might be able to rescue those old guys directly from the fern forest!

After finishing the matter of the Yellow-Brown Fern Forest, he also took care of the matters of Human Skin Town, the End of the World, the Crystal Kingdom, and the Blood Castle.

But this time, I want to take away more than just the "guaranteed rewards" such as the divine skin, Heracles Coral Shepherd Tree, Amber Crystal and Leona.

The person you met is not Roland the man, but Roland the god!
Hahaha, I’m invincible now!
You stinky woman, I let you pretend with me just now. When you come back later, I will strip you naked and put you on the bed!

In the past, you were stronger than me, so you were so arrogant. This time, I'll hang you up and beat you!

And there are Helena, Joan, Florence, and Brianna. I was young and ignorant before, and I didn’t give you a home.

This time, I will teach you and my senior sister a lesson. Hahahaha, I will give you a home, you are all my wings! "

The more Roland thought about it, the more excited he became. He reached out to pick up the mermaid grass on the table, but he felt something warm and soft instead.

Startled, Roland opened his eyes and raised his head, only to find Catherine standing beside the table, looking at him with a dark expression.

She seemed to be looking at Roland's eyelids just now, but Roland's mind was a little confused and he didn't notice her at all.

Roland's heart suddenly skipped a beat—Oh no! When did Catherine come back? He was still an apprentice, and it seemed he couldn't beat her!

Just then, Roland heard the voices of several people behind him.

——"Tsk tsk tsk, there's no need to wait until later, I'm standing right here now. Boy, how are you going to discipline us?" ——"Holy Mother, please forgive this poor lamb."

——"How could Senior Roland do this?"

"Well, it's probably because the potion I brought from the academy conflicts with Wilmick's recipe, causing problems with the potion prepared by Teacher Uhtred. So, Brother Roland is still talking nonsense."

——"Humph, what nonsense! You stinky old man, your son-in-law doesn't take you seriously at all. You wizards must have many ways to punish people, right? Give this big liar a good beating!"

Roland turned around woodenly and found a large group of people standing in the hut.

Brianna, Florence, Helena, Joan, and Aurelie were all there. Besides them, there were a few strange old men—among them, a fat old man standing next to Aurelie looked a little familiar.

Anna was sitting on the bed eating fruit, while Nar and several high-ranking members of the Order of Dawn were discussing something beside the bed.

Outside the window, many wizards from the Black Abyss, Twilight, and Secret Orders, whom Roland didn't recognize, were busy with something. There were also some Nagas and people wearing Old Christian clothing, guarding some locked-up Protestants.

Two cardinals were among them. Judging from their dejected expressions, these guys must have been taken as prisoners.

At this moment, the crowd outside the window made way while talking - at this moment, Roland suddenly discovered that two meters outside the window of the cabin was another huge window!

The window was very large, more than ten meters wide and four meters high. The wizards and captives Roland had just seen outside the window were actually busy inside that large window.

And inside the big window is the holy church!
It seemed that Catherine had projected the time and space of the hunter's cabin onto a magic tapestry on the wall of the Holy Hall - just like opening a portal. Entering the tapestry would enter the space of Catherine's ring, and walking out would enter the Holy Hall.

Roland said in astonishment, "So, I didn't travel to the past?"

An old man with a face covered in scars said in a hoarse voice, "Based on the situation in our world, it's impossible for anyone to travel through time and space. The result of opening a time and space portal can only allow people to arrive in a parallel world, or witness history."

This person was wearing a strange Eastbound wizard costume—this costume had four embroidered characters: Black Abyss, Twilight, White Chess, and the Secret Society. There were also some emblems about the White Queen.

This appears to be the attire of the White Order of Magic. The White Queen is currently the leader of this order, and this person's attire is of high standard; he might be a veteran of the White Order.

Roland was very sure that this person was not among the church's archaeological team. He must have come later.

Because this person has a very strong and unconcealable smell of the abyss.

Roland couldn't tell the man's realm, but he felt that he was like a god.

He continued to say to Roland, "Roland, you are very lucky. You are very lucky to have brought the young ladies back from the vortex of the lower world, instead of encountering big trouble like that fool Johnson.

But your mind was still affected, causing you to have some hallucinations."

Catherine interrupted, "Teacher Uhtred, could it be that Roland saw some fragments of past time from the vortex in the lower world?

He saw these fragments in the lower world, but his willpower was still strong at the time, so he was not affected. But after he came out, he studied the book again, so his willpower was weakened, and then all the side effects emerged at once?

The old man nodded and said, "That's possible."

Book?
Roland subconsciously lowered his head to look at the table and found that his own Book of Alayeh was placed in front of him.

Roland's expression turned strange.

This book should be in Harland's hand. It should have jumped into the well with Harland, but now it has run here.
Suddenly, Roland remembered what Harland had said—"There's actually only one book, but you're seeing two, because one is from the future and the other is from the past. Now the past and future of this book have met, completing the loop. Thus, the past and future of the book have unified in the collapse, and the two books have become one again."

At this moment, an idea flashed through Roland's mind.

The Book of Alayeh was originally created by the Old Church but was later lost. Today, Joshua salvaged it from the Underworld. Then, when Harend jumped into the well, the Book fell into the vortex of the Underworld and returned to the past.

Afterwards, the book bag went around and around and came to Valeria, and was finally given to him by his senior schoolmate fifty years ago.

The book had always been in his hands, and it had been in his hands as well when Harland jumped into the well.

Harend did bring a Book of the Alayah into the well, but it was the Book of the Past! It was the book that had been fished out from the Underworld!
After the book was thrown into the well, it returned to the past and fell into the hands of its past self. Fifty years later, it followed itself to the Well of Faith and saw the process of a 'Book of Alayeh in the Past' being thrown into the well and returning to the past.

The whole process is like an ant walking in a Möbius strip - the ant starts from the past, walks around, and then returns to the past.

The book is this ant, and Roland is also this ant.

However, this Möbius strip in a higher dimension is not a ring connected from beginning to end, but a straight line with a past line and a future line.

Roland can see from a higher perspective. He was able to lead Catherine and the other two out of the maze of the lower world, so naturally he also had the ability to jump out of the loop of time.

But he only has the ability to jump out. If he can't distinguish between the past and the future, he will be lost in the loop of time.

Roland couldn't help but grab his hair, muttering, "Luckily I didn't dwell on the past, otherwise I would have become an ant in a Möbius strip, unable to get out!"

When everyone heard Roland talking nonsense again, they couldn't help but look at each other worriedly.

Uhtred gave his good student Joan a look, and Joan hurried to make the potion.

Everyone thought that Roland had not recovered yet and looked at him with worry or strange eyes.

But there was a fat old king with a big beard who was looking at Roland with a smile on his face - he didn't seem to think Roland was sick.

He pinched his beard, looked at Roland with a smile and said, "Not bad, not bad."

Roland always felt that this fat old man looked familiar.

Before he could think, O'Leary beside him cursed in a low voice: "Not bad!"

O'Reilly is almost mad now. If it weren't for that guy, she would have reached the realm of gods!

Now, she seemed to be tied to this guy and had to stay with the wizard. The church said these guys were bad, but O'Leary thought they seemed pretty good.

They invited me to be their 'guest' and tour their territory.

Well, since we are here for tourism, we can go and have a look when we have time. (End of this chapter)
